Problems

21.8 A 37.5 cm by 5 cm workpart is machined in a face milling operation using a 6.25 cm diameter fly
cutter with a single carbide insert. The machine is set for a feed of 0.025 cm/tooth and a depth of
0.5 cm. If a cutting speed of 120 m/min is used, the tool lasts for 3 pieces. If a cutting speed of 60
m/min is used, the tool lasts for 12 parts. Determine the Taylor tool life equation.

21.17 The outside diameter of a cylinder made of titanium alloy is to be turned. The starting diameter is
400 mm and the length is 1100 mm. The feed is 0.35 mm/rev and the depth of cut is 2.5 mm. The
cut will be made with a cemented carbide cutting tool whose Taylor tool life parameters are: n =
0.24 and C = 450. Units for the Taylor equation are min for tool life and m/min for cutting speed.
Compute the cutting speed that will allow the tool life to be just equal to the cutting time for this
part.

21.21 The outside diameter of a cylinder made of a steel alloy is to be turned. The starting diameter is
300 mm and the length is 625 mm. The feed is 0.35 mm/rev and the depth of cut is 2.5 mm. The
cut will be made with a cemented carbide cutting tool whose Taylor tool life parameters are: n =
0.24 and C = 450. Units for the Taylor equation are min for tool life and m/min for cutting speed.
Compute the cutting speed that will allow the tool life to be just equal to the cutting time for
three of these parts.
